Psalm 44:13-14

13 You sell your people for nothing;
you make no profit from their sale.(A)
14 You make us the reproach of our neighbors,(B)
the mockery and scorn of those around us.

“The one whom God answers when he calls upon him,
The just, the perfect man,” is a laughingstock;(A)
Footnotes
- 12:4–5 The Hebrew is somewhat obscure, but the general sense is that the wicked mock the pious when the latter appear to be abandoned by God; cf. Ps 22:7–9; Mt 27:39–43.
